Everest National Park

 

     Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park is definied in the north by the main divide of the great Himalayan range which forms the international border with the Tibet. The park includes as well as the famous Sagarmatha (Everest) seven peaks over 7,000m

Most of the park comprises barren land over 5,000m.

    In the subalpine zone. 3,000-3,800m there are forests of blue pine pinups wallichiana, fir Abies spectabilis, and juniper juniperus recurva and birch rhododendron forest. Higher up in the lower alpine zone above the tree line at 3,800-4,000m. are shrubberies of janiperus Rhododendron anthopogon and R. leoidotum. Grassland and dwarf shrubs grow in the upper alpine zone, 4,5000-5,500m, and cushion plants from 5,500m. to 6,000m. Oak Quercus semecarpifolia was formerly more extensive but only small arias now remain.

    Most birdlife is in lower alpine zone. Here we can see Blood Pleasants, Grandala. In highter elevations we might see the Tibetan Snow Cock and Horn Lark, Wren Babbler's, Laughing Thrushes, Choughs, Yellow Billed Blue Magpies, Black Headed Jay, Scarlet Finch and Grosbeaks.
